OK, I've got more on this now....
A truncated snippet from the options.txt i just exported
000563 1 1
000563-Condom Type 000563 Condom Type
000565 1 1
000565-Condom Type 000565 Condom Type
000565-Lube Type 000565 Lube Type
000567-Condom+Type 000567 Condom Type
000567 1 1
000567-Lube+Type 000567 Lube Type
Spot the difference?
I can tell you quite confidently that 000565 works perfectly options wise,
but 000567 doesn't
Clearly the options for 000567 are looking for "000567-Lube Type" and not
finding it as there's no match.
It's as I originally thought, the space in the field blew IC's mind when it
was saving because it plonked a + in pace of the space and then forgets to
take it into consideration later. I'd say that's a bug ;)
In future I'm going to stick to using "_" where no guidance is given as to
what should be entered.
I fixed the problem by editing the incorrect entries in the MySQL table
directly.
Many thanks to everyone for their help.
